Summary of Renee Engeln's Beauty Sick

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The idea that girls should be thin and pretty is something that impacts their body image and self-esteem very early on.

#2 The cultural obsession with prettiness is still present in today’s society, and girls grow up knowing that their appearance is required to be near perfection.

#3 The statistics are not good for Leigh when it comes to her acceptance of how she looks. Around 90 percent of young women have no problem naming a body part with which they’re unhappy.

#4 Beauty sickness is what happens when women’s emotional energy gets so bound up with what they see in the mirror that it becomes harder for them to see other aspects of their lives. It starts early, as soon as girls are taught that their primary form of currency in this world involves being pleasing to the eyes of others.
